An Anti-Women Harassment Cell established within our institute to address and prevent incidents of harassment and discrimination against women. These cells are particularly prevalent in workplaces, educational institutions, and other settings where women may be vulnerable to harassment or discrimination.

The primary objectives:

Prevention: Educating employees and students about the various forms of harassment and discrimination against women, including sexual harassment, verbal abuse, intimidation, and gender-based discrimination.

Policy Implementation: Ensuring compliance with laws, regulations, and organizational policies related to the prevention of harassment and discrimination against women. This may involve developing and implementing specific policies and procedures for reporting and addressing complaints.

Receiving Complaints: Providing a safe and confidential platform for women to report incidents of harassment or discrimination. This may include establishing multiple channels for reporting, such as in-person meetings, hotlines, email, or online forms.

Investigation: Conducting impartial and thorough investigations into complaints of harassment or discrimination, respecting the confidentiality and privacy of all parties involved.

Resolution: Taking appropriate disciplinary action against perpetrators of harassment or discrimination, including counseling, warnings, suspension, or termination of employment or enrollment, depending on the severity of the offense.

Support for Victims: Providing support, counseling, and assistance to victims of harassment or discrimination, including access to medical care, legal advice, and other resources to address the physical, emotional, and psychological impact of the incident.

Awareness and Training: Organizing awareness programs, workshops, and training sessions to educate employees, students, and other stakeholders about their rights and responsibilities regarding the prevention and reporting of harassment and discrimination against women.

Documentation and Monitoring: Maintaining records of complaints, investigations, and actions taken to address incidents of harassment or discrimination, and regularly monitoring and reviewing the effectiveness of anti-harassment measures.

Establishing an Anti-Women Harassment Cell is essential for creating a safe, inclusive, and respectful environment where women can work, study, and thrive without fear of harassment or discrimination.
